Q1. How to Get There?

Whether you opt for a leisurely stroll or hop on a bus, my recommendation is having for a stroll with ascending the hill. Why? Because along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views of Seoul’s skyline as you ascend the mountain. Worried about a steep climb? Don’t be! There’s an elevator available for those who prefer a smoother ascent, courtesy of the community’s thoughtful provision for elderly residents.
So it’s free for all to use. Simply getting off Seoul subway station and make your way to the elevator.
